A few months ago, the mandatory contract length with O2-UK expired, meaning I could get a subsidised upgrade. When I asked about ugrading, they said that I'd be better off with a new contrract, and that I could keep my number if I moved onto a new deal and I'd also get the phone I wanted for much less. After being messed around with trying to do this, I decided enough was enough and that I'd move to T-Mobile as they had a slightly cheaper price plan which suited my need. I went out, brought a new T-Mobile phone and then called O2 to get the code I needed for transfer. They said It'd take 5 days to come by post. 5 days, nothing happened. Phoned again, they siad it wasn't sent out for some reason and said they'd send another code out and it would be with me in 5 days. Yet again, nothing happened. I phoned up again, shouted at them, and finally got them to give me the code by phone, but it was an pointless struggle which resulted in O2 billing me for a month of service which I never used. Certainly most annoying.
If this stops the hundred odd spam sites coming up every time in now what seems to be every time I search fo a query that involves a dictionary word, then as a veteran web surfer, I'm all for it. But there'll always be a way around the filter, take it a day, a week, a month, a year. Things really can only get worse.

Goatse in Gigapixel is something I really don't want to see. Normal Goatse is bad enough.

Are we going to see a blog photo of 50-odd iPods being delivered to Redmond in the next few weeks?
